I really, really loved the show probably my favourite live show, tied with Muse.
Mangini was absolutely amazing, the album recording doesn't do him justice. His playing is very energetic and quite dymamic and he seemed to really enjoy himself. He was probably the most entertaining to watch. He was wearing this odd safety glasses?
Is he scared of hitting his eyes with his drum sticks or something
Jordan en Petrucci played absolutely perfect and James did a really good job too, a few small mistakes but that's understandable and didn't take away from the experience. It is a shame he didn'd do the laugh and scream live
Myung was very static and I didn's see him looking at the crowd once, he did play his part perfectly as far as I could hear.
The mix was quite balanced I think, I would have liked Myung a little louder at times perhaps. Also the visuals were quite nice and complemented the muic without being too distracting. The lights were annoyingly bright with the Nomac tracks, but that could have been on purpose. to make the contrast with the actual music bigger perhaps?
Dream Theater it was Astonishing.
